These aren’t meant to be anything more than lighthearted fun, but with a bit of effort these small 4x4s could be really useful training aids.

It’s always really interesting to look at what skills translate into 4×4 from other sports or recreations. In my experience there’s crossover from track car driving, BMX and even flying. And with these 1/10 scale 4x4s it’s the same. The concept of lines and track building are the same. But with the small cars the use of momentum doesn’t quite scale, and there’s far less penalty for getting it wrong. Seeing kids drive scale 4x4s makes you cringe a bit as what they do wouldn’t scale up, but nevertheless it’s all good experience and a lot of fun.
